Subaru is known for the outdoors and adventure. Subaru will continue to expand its electric vehicle range in keeping with the brand’s reputation. We provide EV chargers for Subaru’s most popular models in including the Subaru Solterra . Like many manufacturers, Subaru only provides a slow aka “trickle charger” level 1 EV Charger. Many owners prefer to make their own choice in EV chargers rather than 3rd party auto manufacturer affiliations (or more powerful level 2 EV Chargers), which can be much more expensive or where there is little information. We recommend our level 2 NEMA 14-50 9.6 kWh Subaru EV charger, which can be fixed to the wall, mobile on the go or portable. Like many manufacturers, Subaru is less focused on residential charging solutions and so many customers use our service to find the right EV charger and installation options.
Subaru’s electric vehicle (EV) lineup is expanding, with a focus on combining electric power with the brand’s reputation for rugged, all-wheel-drive performance. The Subaru Solterra, launched in 2022, is the brand’s first fully electric model, followed by the Subaru CrossTrek PHEV in 2023, offering a blend of gasoline and electric mile ranges.
Subaru aims to increase electrification in the coming years, transitioning toward a zero-emission future. Subaru EVs are designed for eco-friendly drivers seeking strong performance, off-road capability, and renowned safety features.
Subaru EV models are best suited for Level 2 EV chargers, providing the fastest home charging option. Both the Solterra and CrossTrek PHEV support DC fast charging, making them versatile for various charging needs.
